“Fail forward”
"Every journey begins with a single step"
“Do or do not, there is no try”
There’s no shortage of inspirational mantras, but these sayings offer little advice to surmounting departmental silos, generational gulfs, intimidating power distances and other communication roadblocks that stymie creative collaboration in the workplace.
These barriers exist because the roles we play in a team environment provide us with a set of rules for interacting with each other. Ironically, these rules often prevent us from doing the very thing we’ve come together as a team to do: Collaborate!
In this session, Carolyn and Anna will discuss how to break the rules and transform those roadblocks into building blocks… freeing you and your team to live up to the mantra of your choice.
Learn about common communication barriers; why they exist and how they hinder team innovation.
Understand the value of design synthesis as a group activity, and how play is a central component to the co-creation dynamic.
Explore a type of creative team play called a Spark-a-Thon. You’ve probably heard of the hack-a-thon, a fun and popular way to immerse yourself into a problem and solve it with code. What would happen if this format of time-limited, team-oriented creation was applied to design concepting? The answer: The Spark-a-Thon, which leads to bigger ideas and a stronger team problem-solving dynamic.
Gain tips, tricks, and resources, so that you can go run your own Spark-a-Thon. You'll leave armed with some benefits and results you’ll glean from it, too - just in case you need to build an internal business case for it.
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but play is certainly the father. Join us to learn some serious play!

How to think like an entrepreneur involves a ton of stuff...way too much stuff! Welcome to my brain dump of skills and traits and all kinds of magic that make an entrepreneur successful.
One of the secrets to being successful in business, regardless of whether you want to be an intrapreneur or an entrepreneur, is design thinking. We must empathize with our audience, listen to them, gain insights from them, develop our product roadmaps around their feedback & continuing to rinse & repeat.
In addition to design thinking, we must understand the blueprint of our business, and that is capturing the high level points in the form of a business model canvas. It may seem academic, but it is truly helpful to make sure you understand & can describe your business to others in a succinct fashion. Love it or hate it...it's helpful!
Lastly, we must all understand the buyer of our products and services so we know how to paint a picture around who to talk to when it comes to gaining audience insights, capturing the insights & keeping them fresh in our mind when we go to market.
Is this deck messy and jumping around a bit? Maybe, but I swear there's a method to the madness.

Reflections from Melissa Sassi: 6 Considerations to Avoid a Job that SucksDr. Melissa Sassi
After reading Jeff Saperstein & Dart Lindsley's recent blog on considerations to avoid taking on a job or role that does not suck, I took a few minutes to highlight what considerations you need to think about when taking on your next big thing at work or when transitioning to a new company.
Learn how to recognize and manage your emotions. Spot the emotions in others. Become more skilled at managing the emotions in others. Have better relationships with those around you. Move from being emotional to emotional intelligence. All of this is necessary to truly be prepared for the future of work.
Preparing for the future of work is an essential element of ensuring our careers are future proof. Check out my Trifecta of Skills to ensure you're ready & evolve with the necessary competencies of excelling in your educational and career journeys.
Learn the key skills, traits, and competencies of an entrepreneur or intraprenuer. Walk away knowing the difference between an entrepreneur and an intrapreneur, and how both view uncertainty, failure, the future, getting things done, pivoting, life-long learning, ambiguity, change, problem solving, critical thinking, and thinking outside in. Explore what goes into a business model canvas. Get a 10,000 foot view of design thinking, being customer centric, and being empathetic with others. Learn what an MVP is and the important role it plays in launching a startup. Leave being big, bold, and ready to create, make, do, and innovate.
How can you thrive when the world is shit, a dumpster fire, and a complete disaster...when you find yourself surrounded by negativity, trolls, and rudeness? I spent this year reading snackable articles from Harvard Business Review and everything I could get my hands on written by Daniel Goleman on Emotional Intelligence. This is a snapshot into what I read and hope you find it helpful, inspiring, empowering, and leads you to thrive when the world is a dumpster fire.
The document defines resilience as the ability to recover quickly from difficult situations. It notes that the current pandemic was unexpected and discusses how we must learn to expect and handle unexpected changes. The key to resilience is managing setbacks by moving forward, adapting to life's changes, and personal growth. Developing resilience involves maintaining a positive outlook, focusing on one's values and serving others, focusing on controllable factors, finding purpose, and relying on social support.
Teaming, collaboration, and working with others is incredibly important in any role and throughout our lives. It's required for the future of work. Rock your collaboration skills with this formula.
One of the key elements to preparing for the future of work is adapting to change. Check out the secret sauce to help you adapt better to change & enable yourself to have better soft skills when it comes to knowing and reacting to the concept of change being inevitable.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

TrustArc Webinar - Your Guide for Smooth Cross-Border Data Transfers and Glob...TrustArc
Global data transfers can be tricky due to different regulations and individual protections in each country. Sharing data with vendors has become such a normal part of business operations that some may not even realize they’re conducting a cross-border data transfer!
The Global CBPR Forum launched the new Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules framework in May 2024 to ensure that privacy compliance and regulatory differences across participating jurisdictions do not block a business's ability to deliver its products and services worldwide.
To benefit consumers and businesses, Global CBPRs promote trust and accountability while moving toward a future where consumer privacy is honored and data can be transferred responsibly across borders.
This webinar will review:
- What is a data transfer and its related risks
- How to manage and mitigate your data transfer risks
- How do different data transfer mechanisms like the EU-US DPF and Global CBPR benefit your business globally
- Globally what are the cross-border data transfer regulations and guidelines
Getting the Most Out of ScyllaDB Monitoring: ShareChat's TipsScyllaDB
ScyllaDB monitoring provides a lot of useful information. But sometimes it’s not easy to find the root of the problem if something is wrong or even estimate the remaining capacity by the load on the cluster. This talk shares our team's practical tips on: 1) How to find the root of the problem by metrics if ScyllaDB is slow 2) How to interpret the load and plan capacity for the future 3) Compaction strategies and how to choose the right one 4) Important metrics which aren’t available in the default monitoring setup.
CTO Insights: Steering a High-Stakes Database MigrationScyllaDB
In migrating a massive, business-critical database, the Chief Technology Officer's (CTO) perspective is crucial. This endeavor requires meticulous planning, risk assessment, and a structured approach to ensure minimal disruption and maximum data integrity during the transition. The CTO's role involves overseeing technical strategies, evaluating the impact on operations, ensuring data security, and coordinating with relevant teams to execute a seamless migration while mitigating potential risks. The focus is on maintaining continuity, optimising performance, and safeguarding the business's essential data throughout the migration process
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
